Contract Writer - A Book to Guide Women Who Fear Making the Wrong Decision

Location: Remote

Position Overview

We are seeking a contract writer to develop and write a Christ-centered book focused on decision-making, fear of making the wrong decision, and analysis paralysis. In an era of infinite choices, women find themselves paralyzed by the fear of making the wrong choice. Whether wrestling with major life decisions—such as career pivots, marriage, or family planning—or feeling overwhelmed by daily decision fatigue, women need guidance on how to make decisions using godly wisdom while resting in God's peace.

This project will help women move from fear-driven overthinking to grace-filled action, grounding their decisions in the sovereignty of God, biblical wisdom, and the freedom found in the gospel.

Scope of Work
